Become hooked by our rich fishing history and go out on an adventure in De Panne. Get your hands on the ErfgoedApp and hear the exciting tales of the fishing business. Who was Pier Kloeffe?

In November 1943, the fishing boat N141 ‘De Zee’ disappears in the North Sea after striking a German sea mine. The crew is never found. Among them, the great-grandfather of artist Johan Tahon remains forever beneath the surface, carried by the slow breath of the sea.
